What the H-E-double hockey stick is a groupon?
It's a service that brokers deals with businesses. The business offers 50% off such and such, but only if X amount of Grouponers buy it.
I have. I recently got a $20 Amazon gift card for $10 from that site.
Yes, but I haven't seen anything good yet. :(
groupon insists on harassing me with ads and pop-ups, but no, i'm not giving in.
I bought a $35 groupon for $15 today. It's for a Hawaiian Fusion and Sushi restaurant. I'm planning to take a friend that was born in Hawaii there for her birthday.I also bought a Bath and Body Work groupon.
So far I've only bought restaurant deals, and they are always half-off.I wish I had caught that Amazon gift card deal.
I wish I had caught the Amazon deal as well!Maybe they will do it again!
They keep harassing my restaurant to get us to sign up to do a deal, but the deals are AWFUL for a small restaurant. They keep a cut after the 50% so we essentially have to give away X number of meals at 70% off, which isn't viable for a place as small as ours. I think a larger place can get away with that kind of loss in the name of attracting new customers, but we can't.
I got the BEST DEAL on living social yesterday. 3 weeks with a personal trainer for $39! Regular price $375! I have to use in in the next 3 months.... not a problem. I love great deals on something I can actually use. :)
If I could find dance lessons that cheap, I would go for it.
I would too. I am probably the world's worst dancer. I would like to learn some country dances and the tango.
I signed up for groupon in Vegas- I got a 1/2 price meal for two ($39.00) which includes two appetizers, two dinners, two desserts, and two beers at Emeril’s.

For example, Groupon, the daily-deals market leader that filed to go public in June, spent about $7.99 to acquire each subscriber who actually redeemed a daily deal in the first quarter of 2010, according to regulatory filings. By the second quarter of 2011, that figure had nearly tripled to $23.46.
Overall, Groupon spent $378.7 million in marketing initiatives in the first half of 2011, up from $35.5 million in the same period a year earlier

I have gotten some really fantastic deals on Groupon (for Canvas on Demand, Bagettes.com, local restaurants, eyeglasses, etc.). Just ordered a Bagette yesterday (it is a bag with your own images printed on it), it ordinarily costs $41 but the groupon was $19. Most deals are good like that, you just won't see ones you are interested in every week.
i'm starting a new online discount site called Poupon. you only get coupons for mustard.
Awesome. You could also sell tickets to the mustard museum which I hear is kind of interesting. (Oddly enough, no joke, I have a friend who got married there.)I'll start the Poopon site. It'll sell diapers in bulk, or discounts to diaper cleaning services.
Hey Gertie, didn't know you were from so close. Not many from out of the area know of the Mustard Museum.
Hey neighbor! Yeah I hadn't heard of it until I moved to Madison - still haven't been though. You been?
When it was in Mt Horeb, not since it moved.
I am on Living Social as well. Got mani/pedis for me and my daughter last week for $29 each. woohoo! I also fell in love with my personal trainer and signed on for another month after my special. I may do another as well. She is 25 and kicks my ass 3 times a week.
I adore these discount sites. What a great way to try new things.
